Rosen is what he is, and scouts say he is probably close to his ceiling. He's a bulldog in both appearance and approach and reminds scouts of Yankees reliever Mike Stanton. He's broad in the shoulders and thick in the thighs and won't break down. He should succeed immediately at Miami--or in pro ball--as he throws three pitches for strikes. His fastball is in the 89-91 mph range, and he can reach back for 94 on occasion and maintains his velocity well. He also has a hard slider but has difficulty controlling it. Rosen has demonstrated an ability to win at a high level: He was the championship game MVP two years ago when Team USA's youth squad won the gold medal at the Pan American Youth Championship in Mexico. Signability could be an issue. He could be headed for college if he's not taken in the first two or three rounds.
